Winners of the NEXT Awards for Opportunity Finance plan to expand national access to affordable housing, healthcare, and nonprofit community facilities in distressed communities across the U.S. The finalists are Clearinghouse CDFI, Corporation for Supportive Housing, and Primary Care Development Corporation. Awardees will be chosen in August and celebrated at the Opportunity Finance Network Conference taking place in San Antonio, Texas in October.
